The first iteration of a Gears ORM is available for anyone who wants
to take a look, and maybe even take it for a spin. It is still pretty
limited, but it seems to work reasonably well.
Write-up and source can be found here:

The next iteration will include support for additional data types and
primitives, and support for arbitrary conditional clauses. Once the
single table solution is fairly solid I will start on a multi-table
solution for joined data.
Feedback welcome.
